Expression "to be in denial"

[Sonichka]

"to be in denial" means to refuse to accept a fact (facts) about something?

[Kitosdad]

Sonichka hello, yes it does, but more importantly, it is used when being told " facts " about someone you respect, or love dearly.

You are said, " to be in denial," refusing to believe .

Thank you! One more question!
“Dad, did you check in with the immigration people today?” “Today, yesterday, tomorrow. Isn’t enough that they drugged me away like a criminal?”

What do the phrasal verbs “check in” and “drug away” mean in this case?

[Sonichka]

*drag away

[Sonichka]

I found a definition in the dictionary http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=94630&dict=CALD. Makes sense, doesn't it? But the thing is that in the show they don't point out "from where he was dragged away".

[Sonichka]

drag away = to make someone leave a place or stop doing what they are doing so that they can go somewhere else or do something else

[Sonichka]

So I suppose it might concern his job

“Dad, did you check in with the immigration people today?

Sonichka, apologies for the delay in replying.

The boy is asking his Father if he had been to the Office of Immigration as he had been requested to do.

Your other find is correct. To be dragged away, presumably under arrest , or something similar.
